No private electronic communications may be made between any members of the body from that time a motion has been made and until the vote is completed.

doc.: IEEE 802.15- Submission March 2004 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 7 Letter Ballots SEC (and other) P&P will require 75% approval of ALL voters of a WG in Letter Ballots –Typically abstains + failures to vote > 25% –Stops all progress in WG Possible solutions –Currently Letter Ballots are treated as “formal”. We can make all LBs informal, to be confirmed at Plenary Meetings Issue: limited number Plenary Meetings per year –Remove option of “abstain” -- rapidly age voters by having more votes – issue is 2 short term votes may be missed –Establish Ballot pools by TG
